okaaay, apparently there's a store called http://gplustore.com in luohu, shenzhen (right outside the border crossing from HK), which is listed as a distributor for the Aorus laptops. it's a bit weird: they appear to be a bricks-and-mortar presence for what is essentially a pure "online" operation.
i'm *really* liking the x3 plus v6 - the only thing is, it's essential that i find out if the NVMe can be flipped over to AHCI in the BIOS, and that Secure Boot can be disabled.

@luke -- what's the Mac version of fsck (command-line filesystem check, Windows' version is chkdsk) and did you run it?
yep.
I've 'fixed' improperly-unmounted USB thumb drives with that command.
yep, i know what it does - it triggers an ioctl to the system which refreshes the partition table.
On Linux, where 'sdx' is your SSD, "fsck -a sdx" (no quotes!) followed by a punch of the ENTER key, will do good things, if it's just a corrupt filesystem.
all it does is hang at that point. the kingston 512gb drive really is completely f*****d.
